Please merge with openipmi 2.0.22-1 from Debian unstable

In progress in https://code.launchpad.net/~nacc/ubuntu/+source/openipmi/+git/openipmi/+merge/297709

Submitted the resulting delta from the merge to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829028. If accepted, we can sync in Yakkety.

The merge looks like good work, well done.

At this point, coming after Beta 2 as it will, we should be cautious. How have you tested the resulting packages and how confident are you in them?

@Iain,

Testing is, really, the biggest issue, IMO. I fully understand and appreciate not wanting to regress anyone's installations. I don't have readily accessible suitable hardware to test all of the OpenIPMI code -- I have reviewed the code changes themselves and it seems like a general improvement in support, etc. We have been on our own upstream release for a while, and now that Debian has done proper updates, we can at least start tracking that.

All that being said, I understand we are late in the cycle, and if the FFe is rejected, we will just get it done for 17.04 -- but I wanted to submit this before I forgot (again) and get a response from the release team.

Thanks!
